Bucchigiri Episode 1 Preview: Bucchigiri?! or ぶっちぎり⁈ is a new anime series that’s generating a lot of buzz. It’s an original anime from MAPPA, the studio behind popular shows like Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen. It’s set to premiere this January, so it’s just around the corner!
The series is described as a return to the delinquent/Yanki genre of anime, which was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s with shows like Cromartie High School and Great Teacher Onizuka.
Under the direction of Hiroko Utsumi and the story of Taku Kishimoto, the series also consists of the musical composition of Michiru Ōshima, while character designs are by Takahiro Kagami.
The opening theme, “Sesame” by Kroi, sets the tone, and the ending theme will be Love je t’aime (らぶじゅてーむ)” by Mahiru Coda (甲田まひる).
So, based on what’s been revealed so far, it seems like Bucchigiri?! will be a martial arts-focused anime with a bit of a retro throwback feel. The story follows Arajin Tomoshibi, who gets caught up in battles among powerful individuals after reuniting with his former friend Matakara Asamine. And as if that’s not enough, there’s also a giant demon lurking in the shadows!
It sounds like the series will have a mix of action, drama, and maybe even a bit of humor, all set against a backdrop of intense battles and supernatural threats. It should be an interesting ride, especially for fans of the Yanki genre!

Not much is known about the plot as this is an original anime from Mappa and does not have source material or manga to follow. But as the script will be written by Taku Kishimoto, we can stay assured that this anime will be great.
This Kishimoto previously worked on notable and famous anime like Haikyu!!, Erased, Fruits Basket, so I have high hopes for him. The only thing we got to know is that this anime will revolve around Arajin Tomoshibi and his escapades with friends or might I say, enemies?
